Ah. Gotcha. My printer is definitely making it's way through (thinking it is) printing all the layers. I am not getting any errors or missing layers. Well, I guess that's not entirely true: I'm missing ALL the layers, but that's different than intermittent missing layers or a halt/no progress anywhe...

Actually, now that you mention it, I have tried a different flash drive. I could not get the machine to read it at al at first. A quick Google search showed that I had the format right (FAT32) but had the partition format wrong (needs to be MBR, had GPT). Fixed that and now it reads just fine. Will ...

Moment of truth time. Drum roll, please. Nada. Probably just another spot on the FEP film, if I had to guess. I am too demotivated to even empty the resin vat to find out right now. Will do it tomorrow after I've gotten some sleep. Okay, I really don't know where to go from here. Clearly the printer...

Sure enough: cleaning out toe resin vat exposed a small circle where the rook should have been, stuck to the bottom of the vat. Okay, Chitubox now has an actual setting for my specific printer (It did not a few weeks ago when I first got the printer). So I pulled in the same MonoRook33.stl into Chit...

All right. After all that time, printed nothing. Going to empty the resin vat and see if there is another image resting on the FEP film. After that, I am going to try to re-print the Anycubic cube. Maybe it's the Photon Workshop that's the problem. Maybe it's not setting up/slicing the image properl...

All right. Here we go. Replaced the FEP film as described in the YouTube video, filled up the resin vat, sliced the MonoRook33.stl in Photon Workshop (I need to set up Prusa and Chitubox for my printer, going to look for any guides on how to do that properly/what are the important settings to get ri...

I have ordered some additional supplies for cleaning the FEP film. As soon as they arrive, I will uninstall the current FEP film and install a fresh one, following the instructions in that video (would have been nice for the Anycubic tech support people to point me at that one when I was emailing wi...

Use a bottle top when I fitted the new one? Not sure what that means. Is there a good YouTube video on how to fit a new FEP film for my printer? Or shows me how a bottle top is involved? I will get the PrusaSlicer and try to learn Chitubox.

Thank you for the feedback, Lez0. Will try everything you suggested, including printing that MonoRook33.stl. First off: I did print several smaller things. I kind of skipped over the detail in my initial post, but here is the complete log of what I have done so far. 1) Tried to print the Anycubic de...

Hello all. First timer posting here hoping to get some help. Technically, more/actual help. SUMMARY Situation: Trying to print a nice, hollow Darth Vader bust on my nice, new printer, but all I am getting is whatever the smallest number just north of zero is. Could use some help figuring out what th...
